The Superbike Commission, composed of Javier Alonso (WSBK Managing Director), Ignacio Verneda (FIM Executive Director, Sport) and Takanao Tsubouchi (MSMA Representative), met at the Dorna Headquarters on October 1 in the presence of Daniel Carrera and Gregorio Lavilla (Dorna WSBK Organisation). A unanimous decision was taken to introduce the following main modifications to the Regulations of the FIM Road Racing Superbike and Supersport World Championship and FIM Superstock 1000cc Cup.

Regarding the Superbike and Supersport Sporting Regulations, beginning in 2014, the winter test ban starts on December 1 each year and finishes on January 15, as per current rules.

Overseas testing is forbidden for contracted teams and riders. Dorna will organize Official Tests in Phillip Island before the race. Dates will be communicated as soon as confirmed.

No testing will be allowed from the first race of the calendar until the last race of the calendar for contracted teams and riders. Dorna will organize three Official Tests on the Mondays following three races, for the World Superbike class only. Dates will be communicated as soon as confirmed.

No testing will be allowed for Supersport after the first race until the last race of the season.

Regarding Technical Regulations for Supersport, beginning in 2014, there will be a limit of six engines per season only, and one gearbox option only.

Beginning in 2015, all Superbikes will have to comply with the EVO technical regulations, in order to maintain the ongoing cost reduction process. The Superbike Commission is studying some modifications to those technical rules that will be announced by the end of 2013.

The new changes should allow all Manufacturers entering the Championship to be competitive, as well as providing an easier route into the World Championship for National Championship Riders and Teams, either as a wildcard or as a permanent entry.
